Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar (Golden Poppy Burst) inc Hard Case

Epiphone's 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue channels the DNA of Gibson's most coveted vintage guitar. Developed alongside Gibson Custom, this mahogany–bodied electric captures the exact specifications that made the original 1959 a favourite of Peter Green, Kirk Hammett, and Joe Bonamassa. The defining feature is the 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile–thicker than the 1960 model that followed–paired with a one–piece mahogany neck and long tenon construction for rock–solid tuning stability and sustain.

The body combines solid mahogany with a carved maple cap topped by AAA flamed maple veneer, finished in Vintage Gloss for authentic ageing patina. Electronics consist of two USA Gibson Custombucker humbuckers with Alnico 3 magnets, hand–wired to CTS potentiometers, Black Beauty paper–in–oil capacitors, and Switchcraft components. An ABR–1 Tune–O–Matic bridge and historical aluminium tailpiece complete the signal chain. Mother–of–pearl trapezoid inlays, aged mother–of–pearl headstock logo, and side dot markers replicate original 1959 proportions. Nickel Epiphone Deluxe Single Ring Keystone tuners and cream binding on top and fretboard round out the vintage credentials. A brown hardshell case with pink plush interior is included.
